Objectives. To examine differences in the prevalence of gestational diabetes and gestational hypertension by maternal nativity and country of birth among Hispanic mothers in Florida. Methods. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 1 130 250 births from Florida birth certificate data between 2004 and 2022. We compared Hispanic maternal health outcomes by nativity (US-born vs foreign-born) and country of birth using descriptive statistics and nested log-binomial regression models, adjusting for sociodemographic covariates. Results. Foreign-born Hispanic mothers had a higher prevalence of gestational diabetes (5.3%) but lower rates of gestational hypertension (4.3%) than did US-born mothers (4.7% and 5.3%, respectively). Foreign-born mothers from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua had significantly lower adjusted risks for gestational diabetes. Gestational hypertension risk was also lower for most foreign-born groups. However, foreign-born Puerto Rican and Cuban mothers had elevated risks for gestational diabetes compared with their US-born counterparts. Conclusions. Maternal health risks vary substantially in the Hispanic population by nativity and heritage, underscoring the need to disaggregate data to identify disparities. Public Health Implications. Policies and interventions should account for subgroup-specific risks to effectively address maternal health inequities in Hispanic communities.

Public health has long grappled with moral and epistemic disagreement-conflicts over values and facts that shape decisions about how best to protect population health. While these forms of disagreement are not new, recent years have seen a shift toward a more entangled and intractable form, which we term "wicked" disagreement. This wicked disagreement, adapted from the concept of wicked problem, sees political identity as shaping both factual beliefs and moral commitments, rendering traditional tools of public health persuasion-such as appeals to evidence or shared values-ineffective. Wicked disagreement is not defined by what is disputed but by the polarized context in which facts, values, and identity are deeply fused. In this essay, we argue that public health must develop new strategies for navigating this terrain, including sustained engagement with a wide range of communities, transparent communication about uncertainty, and a willingness to revise guidance publicly. Navigating wicked disagreement is not about achieving consensus. It is about finding trustworthy ways to protect life and advance health in a fractured public sphere. (Am J Public Health. 2026;116(4):544-551. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2025.308350).
